We prove the existence of Ricci flow starting from a class of metrics with unbounded curvature, which are doubly-warped products over an interval with a spherical factor pinched off at an end. These provide a forward evolution from some…
The limiting behavior of the normalized K\"ahler-Ricci flow for manifolds with positive first Chern class is examined under certain stability conditions. First, it is shown that if the Mabuchi K-energy is bounded from below, then the scalar…
S. K. Donaldson asked whether the lower bound of the Calabi functional is achieved by a sequence the normalized Donaldson-Futaki invariants. We answer the question for the Ricci curvature formalism, in place of the scalar curvature. The…
In this paper, we observe a set of functionals of metrics which are all decrease under the Calabi flow and have uniform lower bound along the flow, which give rise to a set of integral estimates on the curvature flow. Using these estimates,…
We simplify and improve the curvature estimates in the paper: On the conditions to extend Ricci flow(II). Furthermore, we develop some volume estimates for the Ricci flow with bounded scalar curvature. These estimates can be applied to…
In this paper, we introduce a new parabolic equation on K\"ahler manifolds. The static point of this flow is related to the existence of a lower bound of the Mabuchi energy. In this paper, we prove the flow always exists for all times for…
In recent work of Chan-Huang-Lee, it is shown that if a manifold enjoys uniform bounds on (a) the negative part of the scalar curvature, (b) the local entropy, and (c) volume ratios up to a fixed scale, then there exists a Ricci flow for…
In this paper we analyze Ricci flows on which the scalar curvature is globally or locally bounded from above by a uniform or time-dependent constant. On such Ricci flows we establish a new time-derivative bound for solutions to the heat…
In our previous paper math.DG/0010008, we develop some new techniques in attacking the convergence problems for the K\"ahler Ricci flow. The one of main ideas is to find a set of new functionals on curvature tensors such that the Ricci flow…
In this paper we prove a compactness result for Ricci flows with bounded scalar curvature and entropy. It states that given any sequence of such Ricci flows, we can pass to a subsequence that converges to a metric space which is smooth away…
We consider the K\"ahler-Ricci flow on a Fano manifold. We show that if the curvature remains uniformly bounded along the flow, the Mabuchi energy is bounded below, and the manifold is K-polystable, then the manifold admits a…
We consider the formation of singularities along the Calabi flow with the assumption of the uniform Sobolev constant. In particular, on K\"ahler surface we show that any "maximal bubble" has to be a scalar flat ALE K\"ahler metric. In some…
Until recently, Ricci flow was viewed almost exclusively as a way of deforming Riemannian metrics of bounded curvature. Unfortunately, the bounded curvature hypothesis is unnatural for many applications, but is hard to drop because so many…
We survey some recent work using Ricci flow to create a class of local definitions of weak lower scalar curvature bounds that is well defined for $C^0$ metrics. We discuss several properties of these definitions and explain some…
We consider the K\"ahler Ricci flow on a smooth minimal model of general type, we show that if the Ricci curvature is uniformly bounded below along the K\"ahler-Ricci flow, then the diameter is uniformly bounded. As a corollary we show that…
